Active Life for Healthy Days: In the Gym

Society | October 25, 2002, Friday // 00:00

Nowadays, many prefer to drive their car rather than walking, using the lift or escalators rather than the stairs at work or at home, using the remote control to change TV channels rather than not going to the TV set to change them and shopping rather than playing sport. However, playing sport at least one or two times a week can help you feel fit, motivated and healthy. Every one can find one hour during the week to spend in the gym no matter how tense his/her daily program is.

Gym-based activities include studio exercises such as circuit-training, and all forms of weight-training and cardiovascular training on machines indoors. Thus free weights, fixed resistance machine weights, rowing-machines, studio cycling and static bikes, treadmill activities, steppers etc. are all included in this type of exercise. All aspects of fitness can be worked on in a controlled manner following a program, which caters for gradual improvement in strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and motor fitness.

Fitness gyms have qualified instructors who can to teach you how to do the exercises safely and advise you on how to progress and what type of exercise is suitable for you. Anyone, no matter how unfit, can benefit from a fitness programme written and supervised by a trained instructor.
